To the Margo Rakestraw Olinger Family,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Margo and I became friends during our high school years, though we attended different schools. We met in church and spent hours on the phone. I have such fond memories of sleep overs at Ms Lena’s, and of all the advice Margo would give me on my boyfriends. We reconnected again in 2012 and talked & FaceBooked communicated several times over a few years.
I will cherish the fond memories of our youth and pray that your memories will bring you peace.
RWG my dear friend,
